How do you make a playground slide faster?

Answer 1

Step 1: Clean the slide of loose dust, sand and such. A soft-bristle hand-held broom or larger paint brush should do the job nicely.

Step 2: Use a kitchen cleaner (409, Windex or similar) to get rid of the tougher stuff, like bird droppings. Don't forget to clean the inside sidewalls as well, not just the center.

Step 3: Spray generously with WD-40 and buff off the excess using a soft clean cloth. If you have a metal slide, some leftover car wax will also work. Again, don't neglect the inside sidewalls.

From personal experience I have found that the WD-40 works best on plastic slides, while the car wax is best for metal slides. This method has NOT been tested on pool slides, so I don't know what your results might be. The frequency with which you re-apply this method will depend on several factors, including the weather in your area and how often your slide is used.

One important note: The slide will be VERY slippery and fast. Care must be taken with small children to avoid potential injuries (especially when standing at the top of the slide).
